What happens here

The project begins by identifying the core problem: severe basement water intrusion due to poor initial grading. The existing landscape, which includes several Amur maple trees and multiple concrete patios directly adjacent to the building, is directing water towards the foundation, leading to wet basements for years.

Goal: Understand the cause of basement water intrusion and outline the demolition and regrading plan.
